: I just read this on the Drudge Report:
: **Talk radio host Michael Savage is considering legal action against Britain's top homeland security official after she released today a list grouping him with terrorists and neo-Nazi murderers banned from entry because the government believes their views might provoke violence.**
Solidarity?!?! I would hope anyone in radio, regardless of their political beliefs, would stand behind Savage and his right to say whatever the hell he wants.
I recognize this is the U.K, but this type of name calling is similar to what I hear from our politicians regarding speech they don't agree with.
Savage is not promoting violence; his ideas, to some, are extreme, but never has he incited anyone to do something, other than to write their representatives. They are equating him with child killers, nazi's, and spencer pratt. (ok, not spencer)
If the possible terrorists in Guantanamo can get in our courts, it doesn't seem too far out of the question that he has a case against someone in the U.K government for defamation.
Again, I hope anyone whose livelihood is based on the words they speak, or in an industry in which that is required, is behind Savage in this case.
